HORSESHOE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 29, 1919.

Application filed February 21, 1917. Serial No. 150,041.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CARL DANIELSON, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cookand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in horseshoes havin removablecalks. One object is to provi e a horseshoe that may be instantlychanged, without removal from the foot of the animal, to suit changes inthe weather, roads, and the work to be performed. With the foregoing andother objects in view the invention consists in the combination andarrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described, pointed out inthe appended claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawing whichforms a part of this specification and in which-- Figure 1 is across-section on line 44 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view of Fig. 2 with the calks removed.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one form of calk employed.

Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout theseveral views.

The reference numeral 1 denotes the master plate or horseshoe properwhich is formed with enlarged apertured lobes 11 formed with recesses 11to releasably receive the oblong heads 12 of the wedgeshaped calks 13,said heads and calks being connected by stems 14, said heads beingformed with apertures 14*. The mouth 11 of each recess in each lobe isnarrower than the recess and is adapted to receive the stem portion 14of the calk 13, the head 12 being adapted for disposal in the recess 11.The calk is introduced from either end of the recess 11 and mouth 11.When the head is Copies of this patent may be obtained for five centseach, by addressing the introduced into the recess between the lobes itis retained in position by screw 15 introduced into the threadedopenings 16 in said lobes, said screw also passin through the opening 14in the head 12 of the calk.

The screw 15 is formed with an aperture 17 adapted to receive anotherscrew 18 which is adapted for engagement with the threaded a erture 19in said lobe, the aperture 19 bemg disposed at right angles to theaperture 16. When the screws 15 and 18 are in engagement, as shown inFigs. 1 and 2, they are positively locked and they serve to lock thehead 12 in fixed position within the said lobes 11. To release the calk13 the screws 15 and 18 are manually disengaged and removed from thelobes and the head 12 and stem 14 moved out of the lobes. It is obviousthat calks of various shapes and sizes may, in this manner, be readilysecured to the plate or shoe and as readily removed withoutinconvenience to the animal.

What is claimed is In a horseshoe, a master plate formed with recessedand perforated lobes, calks with heads formed thereupon for passage intoand out of the recessed portlons of said lobes, apertured screws adaptedfor insertion into perforated portions of said lobes for engagement withsaid calks, and screws adapted for insertion into perforated portions ofsaid lobes and passage through the apertured portions of the first-namedscrews to retain the same in adjusted position with relation to the saidcalks.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixedmy signature in the presence of two subscribin witnesses.
